Mister Tanner
Harry Chapin        (klr)

Mister 
G
 Tanner was a 
G/f
 cleaner from a 
Em
 town in the Mid
G/d
 west
And of 
G
 all the cleaning 
G/f
 shops around 
Em
 hed made his the
D
 best
But he 
C
 also was a 
Bb
 baritone who 
Am7
 sang while hanging 
G
clothes
He practiced scales while 
G/f
 pressing tails and 
Em
 sang at local
D
 shows
His 
Em
 friends and neighbors praised the voice that 
D
 poured out
from his throat
They 
Em
 said that he should use his gift in 
D
 stead of cleaning
coats

G
 But 
Bm
 music was his life, it was 
Am7
 not his livelihood
And it 
Em
 made him feel so happy and it 
G/d
 made him feel so
D/c
 good
And he 
G/b
 sang from his heart 
C
  and he 
G/d
 sang from his 
D
soul
He 
G
 did not know how 
C
 well he sang, 
G
 it just 
C
 made him
G
 whole

His 
G
 friends kept working 
G/f
 on him to try 
Em
 music out full
G/d
 time
A 
G
 big debut and 
G/f
 rave reviews a 
Em
 great career to 
D
climb
C
 Finally they 
Bb
 got to him 
Am7
 he would take the fling 
G
A concert agent 
G/f
 in New York 
Em
 agreed to have him 
D
 sing
And there were 
Em
 plane tickets, phone calls, 
D
 money spent to
rent the hall
It 
Em
 took most of his savings but he 
D
 gladly used them all

G
 But 
Bm
 music was his life, it was 
Am7
 not his livelihood
And it 
Em
 made him feel so happy and it 
G/d
 made him feel so
D/c
 good
And he 
G/b
 sang from his heart 
C
  and he 
G/d
 sang from his 
D
soul
He 
G
 did not know how 
C
 well he sang, 
G
 it just 
C
 made him
G
 whole

The 
G
 evening came he 
G/f
 took the stage his 
Em
 face set in a
G/d
 smile
And in the 
G
 half filled hall the 
G/f
 critics sat 
Em
 watching
on the 
D
 aisle
But the 
C
 concert was a 
Bb
 blur to him 
Am7
 spatters of applause
G
He did not know how 
G/f
 well he sang, he 
Em
 only heard the 
D
flaws
But the 
Em
 critics were concise, it 
D
 only took four lines
But 
Em
 no one could accuse them of 
D
 being overkind

(spoken) 
G
 Mr Martin Tanner, Baritone, of 
G/f
 Dayton Ohio
Made his Town Hall 
Eb
 debut last night.  He came well 
G/d
prepared
But unfortunately his presentation 
C
 was not up to contemporary
Professional 
Bb
 standards.  His voice lacks the 
Abmaj7
 range of
tonal color
Necessary to make it consistently 
G
 interesting
C
 Full time consideration of an 
Bb
 other endeavor might be in 
G
order
G/f

G/d

G
 He came back home to 
G/f
 Dayton and was 
Em
 questioned by his
friends 
G
Then he 
G
 smiled and just said 
G/f
 nothing and he 
Em
 never sang
D
 again
C
 Excepting very late 
Bb
 at night when the 
Am
 shop was dark and
G
 closed
He sang softly to himself as he sorted through the 
D
 clothes

G
 - 
Bm
 Music was his life, it was not 
Am7
 his livelihood
And it 
Em
 made him feel so happy, it 
G
 made him feel so 
D
 good
And he 
G/b
 sang from his 
C
 heart and he 
G
 sang from his 
D
soul
And he 
G
 did not know how 
C
 well he sang
Bb
 It just 
Abmaj7
 made him 
G
 whole
